My batteries are dated 2014/02. Is this production or expiration date?

The only date on Duracell batteries I know of are the expiration dates, but they spell out the month, eg. Mar 2016.

Hi,The expiration date is 2 years after the production date. On mine Production date was 9/2013, so these are good until 9/2015. I hope this helps.

I think it depends on who the distributer is at time of purchase; they seem to change over time. The last batch of these batteries I received did not have expiration dates printed on either the battery or its packaging. I don't recall ever seeing dates physically printed on the batteries, although I have seen them printed on the packaging. But you'll have to trust the date on the packaging is correct, especially if the packaging looks like "re-packaging". The best way to tell if the battery you are about to use is fully charged (or check the batteries when you receive them, like I do) is to use a simple, inexpensive voltmeter that has either an analog or digital scale that measures at least 3.6 volts.

I think I bought these batteries in 2013. They show an expiration date of March 2019.

I ordered these batteries and I assure you, they were "fresh". The expiration date is in 2015. They are new batteries and they work great! I hope this helps....I was wondering the same thing, since they are less than half of what i can find them for locally :)

Product expiration date is in 2014 and the one I ordered is definitely working.

On the 40-pack of batteries I bought a couple months ago has an expiry date of 2018 stamped on each battery, not printed.

I received 2 of the Exide RF- 31D batteries on July 19, 2013. I just checked the factory date on the batteries. Both batteries were dated June 2013. I use the batteries on my solar backup system and they are holding up well.

That is the expiration date. These batteries have a 10 year listed shelf life. If you just received some with a June 2012 date, I would recommend returning for a refund. The ones I got expire in 2022.

I purchased a battery in June 2014 which never charged right from the start so returned it for a refund. I did notice that the date on the battery was last year......

There is no expiration date in the description which is understandable because it would change with each new batch of batteries. The ones I bought had an expiration date three years in the future. Their performance has been equal to any others I have used.

Battery expiration dates depend on the date of manufacture. In the case of MY shipment the date is mid-2023.
